How are those sophomores doing?

Zach Wilson, missed first 3 games But 2-0 in his starts, had a lights out 4th Q on the road making big throws. Was very efficient today, looks decisive and accurate. Was inches away from 2 TD passes today with also making a great decision and running in a TD. 

AVT has been an absolute stud, was playing at an all pro level at RG. Then played a good game at LT when we had 4 OTs go down. Then played RT today cause of team needs and played well. His versatility is impressive. 

Elijah Moore is getting open, our weapons on offense are really good but hasn't had that big game yet. I feel like its coming.

Michael Carter RB has been a very good player. 

Michael Carter II CB is a really good slot CB. 

Brandin Echols CB is a good ST player and makes plays when he has to come on the field.

LT Christian Darrisaw is showing potential to be (and nearly playing like) a top 10 LT.

HB Kene Nwangwu had 2 KO TD's last year; has only been given pre-season opportunities this year. Uncertain future regarding offensive fit.

S Cam Bynum is a safe and smart cover safety who plays with some zip, but is clearly limited. Adequate starter. 

The rest busted out: QB Kellen Mond, LB Chazz Surratt, G Wyat Davis, DE Patrick Jones, DE Janarius Robinson, WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, TE Zach Davidson, DT Jaylen Twyman.

Alijah Vera-Tucker, who played LG as a rookie, has started at RG/LT/RT in 3 consecutive games and been great in each. Jets OL would be in complete shambles, without his versatility, given the injuries we've had at OT. Really impressive stuff

Broncos class looks really good. Patrick Surtain is already one of the best CBs in the league and Javonte Williams looked like a pro bowl RB before his injury. Meinerz is a decent starter at RG, but currently injured. Browning was good at ILB last year but then moved to EDGE and has been terrific off the bench this year. Sterns has been good off the bench and should be a future starter.

1. Caleb Farley: Missed most of his first season, not looking so hot this season.  And by not so hot, I mean he's one of the worst "starting" corners in the NFL.  Still early, and he was raw, but he's quickly approaching bust status.  F, with a chance of improving, but that chance is looking slim.

2. Dillon Radunz: Straight up bust.  May manage to salvage his grade by being a rotational quality OL, but good lord is he awful right now.  And he doesn't have the Farley excuse of being an injured traits guy.  F

3. Monty Rice: This grade will be decided pretty soon, since he's been designated to return soon.  He was decent as a rookie, but has been injured all of this season.  B for now.

3. Elijah Molden: Was great for a rookie, but (pattern developing here) has been injured all season.  B again, maybe that goes up or down when he gets back.

4. Dez Fitzpatrick: Headscratching pick at the time with consensus better WRs available.  Even more headscratching now, as he's been a complete waste of a roster spot, and didn't even make the final 53 in a thin receiver group as a rookie.  F

4. Rashad Weaver: Injured all of his rookie season, but has turned into a quality starting Edge guy who's on pace for double digit sacks.  For a 4th rounder, that's an easy A.

6. Racey McMath: He did better than Dez, which isn't saying a lot.  He looked primed to contribute this season, but then was injured just before the season began.  He gets a C, since you don't expect much from 6th rounders.

6. Brady Breeze: Didn't make the team.  D

Jaylen Waddle (Round 1, Pick 6)

Already established himself as a top WR, so about as well as you could hope for. A

Jaelan Phillips (Round 1, Pick 18)

Good pass rusher so far in his career, but struggles in run support, so hasn't been every-down yet. B

Jevon Holland (Round 2, Pick 36)

Already a top-tier safety - easily our best value of this draft. A+

Liam Eichenberg (Round 2, Pick 42)

He's been complete garbage. Still starting but is starting to downtrend into bust territory. D

Hunter Long (Round 3, Pick 81)

Hasn't seen the field much. Bust, probably. F

Larnel Coleman (Round 7, Pick 231)

Has seen some action this year with our OL injuries but hasn't been great. Still, for a 7th rounder, hard to complain. C

Gerrid Doaks (Round 7, Pick 244)

No longer with the team. F

3b. Nico Collins: He’s a good WR with some upside, can get downfield quickly and get up to fight for 50/50 balls. He could eventually be a “1b” WR for the Texans, acting as a 2nd guy behind an alpha sort of WR.

So yeah - he's like a middle class version of LACs Mike Williams. Just a downfield threat who can get over a defender and play through a defender to get the ball. He's not going to run savvy routes and he might drop a ball or two he should have, but he's a big play target that can make a highlight reel catch over the tightest coverage.

He has an outside chance to break 1,000 yards this season - with steady QB play, he could be really good.

Najee Harris - Looking more like Trent Richardson 2.0 than Derrick Henry 2.0

Pat Freiermuth - He’s been reallly good, but just got his 3rd concussion on a helmet to helmet hit in 2 years.  If he can stay healthy he’s going to be a problem as Kenny plays more.  Big guy with huge pass catching range.

Kendrick Green - Dude can’t get a hat on game day and was our 3rd round pick.

Dan Moore - He shows flashes, but is quite underwhelming at LT.  He’s likely a LG elsewhere.

Buddy Johnson - 4th round ILB pick who can’t get a hat on a team with bad ILB’s.

Isaiahh Loudermilk - An ok run stuffer and ok pass rusher.  Fair rotational guy out of the 5th.  Been injured though.

Quincey Roche - Cut after rookie camp.  With the Giants.

Tre Nor wood - Eh.  4/5th safety at best.  Makes mistakes but is a Swiss Army knife for the secondary.

Presley Hardin III - We’re a black hole for punting.

CB Patrick Surtain ll- Stud

RB Javonte Williams- Good Young bowling ball but season ending injury dampens it

OG Quinn Meinerz- Depth player has had some moments in the run game playing. 

Edge Baron Browning- Played LBer last year and was really solid in coverage. Moved to edge this year. Had a breakout game Thursday night at edge and with Gregory out will get more opportunities. Doubt Chubb resigns and then Browning will be a future starter.

S Caden Sterns- Starting for Justin Simmons and makes plays in coverage. Future starter for Kareem Jackson.

No one else has worked out/worth mentioning 

 A lot of good players from this draft. A bright spot in an otherwise crappy season thus far
